Ana Guevara

Guevara, 41, will take control of Mexican sport at a time of maturity, after having been world 400-meter champion in 2003 and Olympic silver in that event a year later, and having been involved in political positions for almost a decade. “Fifteen years ago maybe my feeling and perception were being on the scene as a protagonist. Today I have to accompany the champions, create them and make the bases from the field, the neighborhoods and the cities,” said Guevara. / A los 41 años, Guevara tomará el mando del deporte mexicano en un momento de madurez, luego de haber sido campeona mundial de los 400 metros planos en 2003 y plata olímpica en esa prueba un año después, y de haber estado involucrada en cargos políticos por casi una década. “Hace quince años tal vez mi sentimiento y percepción eran estar en la escena como protagonista. Hoy me toca acompañar a los campeones, crearlos y hacer las bases desde la cancha, los barrios y las ciudades,” dijo Guevara.
